Hugs and dooks to all. I went into a petstore in Prince George, BC and they had a very,very small cinamon baby ferret. I noticed in the cage that there was dry food in the dish and the litter box was quite high and big in the cage. I asked the lady working there how old the kit was and she said 12 weeks, I argued with her and said no way. My boy was 10 weeks when I got him and he was alot bigger than this little girl. She said she would go check and come back and tell me. I asked her where they got her from and she said she's a marshall ferret from New York. She came back and looked at me pretty guilty saying I was right, from her papers she appeared to be only 7 or 8 weeks old. I asked to hold her, she was so sweet. I told the lady to moisten her food, she's too young to eat hard stuff, and get a smaller litter pan in there. Also to put some toys in for her and a hammy, they had her sleeping in a milk jug with pine shavings. I told them, get rid of the pine shavings and put a soft blanket in there. The lady did what I asked her. I told her this little one is too small, she still had a raw looking belly from the spay. I wish I could have taken her home, but I couldn't afford the $249 dollars they wanted for her. I told them I would be back from time to time to check up on the ferrets they bring in. She was pretty meek about it and I have gone back numerous times but they have not had another ferret. I asked and they said they are having a hard time getting them from Marshall's?? Anyways the experience I had turned me off of Marshall's because they sent this little one out so young. I really don't think they care, they just want money. Sorry so long but I had to throw my 2 cents in. Kate and the Spaz monster Haven't met the love of your life yet.........Get a ferret!!!! [Posted in FML issue 3799]
